[Intro: Fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft piano, distant seagulls]
Harbor lights are fading in the mist,
Another voyage calls me from the shore.
I hold your picture tightly in my fist,
And hear the engine start to roar.
[Verse 1]
Salt on my lips, and waves ahead of me,
So many nights I haven't seen the land.
But you're inside — a fire, a memory,
You are the lighthouse where my heart will stand.
I count the stars that guide this lonely ship,
But none shine brighter than your eyes back home.
The distance cuts me like a winter wind,
But every mile is just a road back home.
[Pre-Chorus: soft, building]
And though the storm may rise,
My heart won't be denied —
It's flying over oceans
Back to your side!
[Chorus: warm, anthemic, singable]
I'm coming home — through the wind and the rain!
I'm coming home — just keep calling my name!
You are my ocean, you're my quiet light,
You are my harbor through the endless night!
I'm coming home...
[Verse 2]
I've seen the world, I've seen a thousand faces,
But I don't need a single one of them.
I miss the warmth of your familiar places,
The way you hold me, and our little dreams.
I promise you — I'll be there soon, I swear,
I'll bring the whole wide world back to your door.
And we will light a hundred fires there,
And I'll forget what "far away" is for.
[Pre-Chorus: soft, building]
And though the storm may rise,
My heart won't be denied —
It's flying over oceans
Back to your side!
[Chorus: warm, anthemic, singable]
I'm coming home — through the wind and the rain!
I'm coming home — just keep calling my name!
You are my ocean, you're my quiet light,
You are my harbor through the endless night!
I'm coming home...
[Bridge: quiet, just voice and guitar — the emotional heart]
*Spoken softly:*
"Every port's a step to you...
Every wave's a road back home...
Every prayer I ever knew...
Was just your name... and coming home."
[Guitar Solo: soft, melodic, fingerpicked, slowly building to a gentle peak]
[Final Chorus: key change, full band, choir — but warm, not loud]
I'M COMING HOME — THROUGH THE WIND AND THE RAIN!
I'M COMING HOME — JUST KEEP CALLING MY NAME!
YOU ARE MY OCEAN, YOU'RE MY QUIET LIGHT,
YOU ARE MY HARBOR THROUGH THE ENDLESS NIGHT!
I'M COMING HOME...
I'M COMING HOME...
I'M COMING HOME...
[Outro: fading, just acoustic guitar and a single piano note]
Harbor lights... are close again...
I'm coming home... to your hand...
(I'm coming home...)
